We started by carrying out a full archaeological survey to establish the original footprint as well as the historical importance of the building. It turned out the site itself was of some significance. Perched high on the Monte Tizio range of hills, a building on the site was once dedicated to the Roman goddess Tedite. Later, the area became home to the Austrian Hermitage for Gregorian Monks before in the Middle Ages the church of San Pietro was founded here.
Our team managed to trace many of the original drawings of the castle and used these to recreate it as accurately as possible. Now looking at the magnificent restoration it is difficult to imagine how it must have looked when it was little more than a few broken walls. The original castle itself dates back to the 12th century and was commissioned by the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederico Barbarossa.
Built as a fortress, it was at the center of the bloody wars of the time between the Empire and the Papacy. Today the castle is truly magnificent once more, both true to its heritage and functioning as a modern, unique, and luxurious home.
